Spring Stamp Collection SAL Introduction

🐦🐦🐦 Good afternoon, ya'll  and welcome!

A little birdie told me that it was time for another stitch along.  🐦🐦🐦

 I have had my head in   the clouds, dreaming of another stitch along for some time.

                   🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦

  Last fall I shared my Autumn Stamp Collection in a fast and furious several day stitch along. 

It was soooo much fun - at least for me it was. 😊 I was over the moon to see so many of you stitch along with me, and I loved seeing the colors changes and the different layouts and finishes.  Eventually , I would like a stamp collection for all of the seasons. 

                      🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦

Any whoo. This week I have been working my fingers to the bone stitching and preparing for a new SAL- A SPRING STAMP SAL . 

 There will be 9 stamps and they all revolve around one of my favorite characters that I have created and that is my little bluebird.  Ya'll my remember her in the Spring Stamp that I shared last year. Well her adventures continue in this SAL . 

Would you like to see a sneaky peek? 

The design is the same as the Autumn Stamp Collection in respect to the borders and header- 107 x 132.  Stitched on 14 count aida , all of the stamps along with the header will fit perfectly in an 8" x 10 " frame.  If you stitch the stamps individually , the design size is 35 x 35 which on 14 count aida would bring the size to about 2 1/2" squared. 

I will be stitching my borders in DMC 815 because I mostly decorate in reds in my living room. Please feel free to change the colors to whatever strikes your fancy. 

Below is a list of the DMC FLOSS COLORS that  I will be using for the whole project . 

DMC- 815, 898, 3371, 610, white, 930, 931, 355, 356, 3345, 3346,  782,  223, 3740, 301, 646

Last fall I shared a stamp each day for 10 days. Well it's ball season, so you can imagine this gal will be spending most evenings at the baseball field watching my little grandkiddos  playing ball. So I thought I would spread the SAL over a number of days.
